In this episode, we get into how it came together, why we built it, and what makes it different from just scrolling Indeed or LinkedIn for the hundredth time.So many social work jobs don't have "social worker" anywhere in the title, which means a basic keyword search misses most of them.

We are so excited to finally share it with you!We chat about:Why searching "social worker" alone makes you miss good job opportunitiesHow years of researching job titles for social workers turned into this boardWhat filters are built in: education level, location, job type, and remote optionsHow to read a job posting without talking yourself out of applyingWhat's next, including a career-focused newsletter and more resourcesResources mentioned:Your Social Work JobYour Social Work Job newsletterSocial Work Job Titles & Resources PDFVideo: How to Set Up Your Candidate ProfileConnect with us!Find Social Work to Wealth on: TikTok, Instagram, & YouTube.Disclaimer: The information presented in this podcast & on any affiliated platforms is for educational, informational, & entertainment purposes only and should not be construed as legal, financial, or professional advice.

Monae Dale is a program officer at a community foundation in LA, and in this episode she talks about how she moved from direct practice into philanthropy. She started her MSW at USC already wanting to work in macro social work, but found that her program mostly pointed students toward clinical roles. She ended up spending years in a micro/macro hybrid role at a drop-in center for unhoused young adults, then moved into management, before finally making the leap into philanthropy!We talk about the specifics of that transition, including working with a career coach to get clarity on her interests, learning to translate her clinical experience into language macro employers actually look for, and rewriting her resume and cover letter. We also get into the details about what she does day to day as a program officer. This episode is for anyone who has been curious about philanthropy or how to transition from clinical to macro!We chat about:Why a macro concentration in grad school didn't automatically translate to macro job opportunitiesMonae's take on why management roles often get mislabeled as macro workHow to translate clinical experience into language macro employers are actually searching forThe value of tailoring your resume and cover letter to every single jobWhat the job looks like as a program officer at a community foundationWhy looking at who funds an organization you admire can open up job leads you wouldn't find otherwiseWorking through the confidence shift that comes with stepping away from clinical workResources mentioned:Follow Monae on TikTok270+ Job Titles for Social Workers PDFGreenhouse – job board mentioned as a resource for job searchingSocial Workers in Policy – YouTube channel featuring real social workers who have successfully transitioned from clinical practice into policy, advocacy, and systems-level leadershipEpisode 46: How to Find Quality Jobs as a Social Worker with Marthea Pitts, MSWConnect with us!Social Work to Wealth Newsletter — a newsletter for the social worker wanting to level up their career and money.Find Social Work to Wealth on: TikTok, Instagram, & YouTube.Disclaimer: The information presented in this podcast & on any affiliated platforms is for educational, informational, & entertainment purposes only and should not be construed as legal, financial, or professional advice.
